Bug or feature: CableComponent Attach End To can't be SceneComponent?

Development Programming & Scripting

I am not sure this is a bug or feature, but it looks like a bug: When I set CableComponent’s Attach End To property to a SceneComponent, both ends of the cable are in the parent. Adding, for example, StaticMesh child to the SceneComponent and setting cable end to point to that works.

Hi mikat,

Think of the Scene Component as more of a filler component. It is usually used as the Root Component (which is limited in mobility) so all other components are free to be manipulated if needed. If you want something invisible I suggest using a dummy component like the Box or Sphere Component.

Ah, I had misunderstood use of Scene Component. Thank you for clarifying this!
